Problem Description:
The task is to create a bar graph based on the given data about the number of hot dogs sold each day of the week. The data is provided in a table, and a blank grid is provided for drawing the bar graph.
Given Data:
| Day | # of Hot Dogs Sold |
|-----------|--------------------|
| Monday | 84 |
| Tuesday | 60 |
| Wednesday | 12 |
| Thursday | 72 |
| Friday | 36 |
| Saturday | 48 |
| Sunday | 24 |
Instructions:
1.
Understand the Data: The number of hot dogs sold is given for each day of the week.
2.
Convert to Dozens: Since the y-axis is labeled "Dozens of Hot Dogs Sold per Day," we need to convert the number of hot dogs sold into dozens. (1 dozen = 12 hot dogs).
3.
Plot the Bars: Use the converted values to draw bars on the provided grid.
---
Step-by-Step Solution:
#### Step 1: Convert the Number of Hot Dogs Sold to Dozens
To convert the number of hot dogs sold into dozens, divide each value by 12.
-
Monday: \( \frac{84}{12} = 7 \) dozens
-
Tuesday: \( \frac{60}{12} = 5 \) dozens
-
Wednesday: \( \frac{12}{12} = 1 \) dozen
-
Thursday: \( \frac{72}{12} = 6 \) dozens
-
Friday: \( \frac{36}{12} = 3 \) dozens
-
Saturday: \( \frac{48}{12} = 4 \) dozens
-
Sunday: \( \frac{24}{12} = 2 \) dozens
So, the data in dozens is:
| Day | Dozens of Hot Dogs Sold |
|-----------|--------------------------|
| Monday | 7 |
| Tuesday | 5 |
| Wednesday | 1 |
| Thursday | 6 |
| Friday | 3 |
| Saturday | 4 |
| Sunday | 2 |
#### Step 2: Draw the Bar Graph
Using the converted data, plot the bars on the provided grid:
- The x-axis represents the days of the week.
- The y-axis represents the number of dozens of hot dogs sold.
For each day:
-
Monday: Draw a bar reaching up to 7 on the y-axis.
-
Tuesday: Draw a bar reaching up to 5 on the y-axis.
-
Wednesday: Draw a bar reaching up to 1 on the y-axis.
-
Thursday: Draw a bar reaching up to 6 on the y-axis.
-
Friday: Draw a bar reaching up to 3 on the y-axis.
-
Saturday: Draw a bar reaching up to 4 on the y-axis.
-
Sunday: Draw a bar reaching up to 2 on the y-axis.
#### Step 3: Label the Graph
- Title the graph: "Dozens of Hot Dogs Sold per Day."
- Label the x-axis: "Day."
- Label the y-axis: "Dozens of Hot Dogs Sold."

Final Answer:
The bar graph should be drawn as described above, with bars corresponding to the number of dozens of hot dogs sold for each day. The final answer is represented visually by the completed bar graph.
